John and Phyllis had five children, all born in Beachampton, Bucks. They were Jonathan (1787), Richard (1789), Elizabeth (1797), Martha (1795), Ann (1799), Nancy (1801) and Robert (1803). Richard Bennett born in 1789 married Ann Godfrey in Beachampton, Bucks in 1828. Their three children were all born in the village too. They were Eliza (1826), Thomas (1829) and John (1931). John Bennett married Charlotte Barrett in the Church of Thornton and Nash in 1864. They also resided in Beachampton and all their children were born here. The children were James (1863), William Thomas (1867), Emily (1869), Angie E (1873), Ada Celina (1876) and Elizabeth. James Bennett married Clara Reynolds in Beachampton in 1888. They also lived in Beachampton until around the turn of the century, with James working and the family living at Potash farm. Their children were all born in Beachampton apart from Victor in New Bradwell and Ethel in Newport Pagnell. James and Clara's children were Charles Leonard (1889), James (1890-90), Percy George (1892-95), Harold John (1894), Edith Mary (1896), Arthur (1897), Victor Baden (1900) and Ethel Louise (1906). Ethel Louise Bennett was my great-grandmother who was born on 29 Jan 1906 in Newport Pagnell. The family had moved from Beachampton to Greenfield Road, Newport Pagnell. She met Edward Goodman, son of a travelling gypsy family who had settled in Old Bradwell and they married in Newport Pagnell in 1925.
